the house. and a message was sent to Lewis
ton for assistance. Supt. Bisbee went down.

farming tools, two calves and other contents

had couple of men put on the watch to keep
the sparks from igniting the house. Mrs.

"He giveth His beloved sleep"
One of the colored men on the steamer
Lewiston, picked up a quarrel with James
Mehan after the boat left Bangor, Wednes
day and got the worst of the encounter. Then
he logged Mehan after dinner with draw n
razor, waiting for a chance to cut the latter,
who finally turned on him and punished him
badly, breaking both of his jaws. The negro
was aiken 10 charge by the City Marshal of

Michael Sheerin of Mattawamkeag, has
been very much troubled of late by people
crossing his land between the railroad and
river. Some time ago he posted notices for
bidding all persons crossing his land, and as
this did not have the desired effect, he sent
written notices to the parties. This did no
good and, as a last resort, he swore out war
rants against one Robinson and one Stevens,
who were tried at Lincoln and fined So and
costs and So and costs, respectively, says the
Up River News.
